Top 5 Custom ROMs for HTC One M7

Well, isn’t it quick? Numerous ROMs along with clockworkmod recovery and TWRP are already out for HTC One M7 and there are surely plenty more to follow as time goes on. Due to the increasing number of custom ROMs now available for the HTC One a Top 5 list was surely needed and here it is. Most of these are based on Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) – latest official HTC One 1.28.401.7 (WWE) firmware which lets you unleash all the capabilities of your M7 and sport the looks of Sense 5.0. So, here we go with our top 5…

This is a real clean and simple custom ROM that gives you some of the essential features such as aroma installer that helps you to remove the apps that you do not require and install additional mods while installation only. Moreover it is Deodexed, Zipaligned and comes pre Rooted. It has the functionality of OTA Updates ( Over the air) updates that will allow you to update your ROM to the latest features very very easily indeed. So, go ahead and try this out.

This ROM can be considered to be on the same lines as #5 Maximus 7. This too has features such as the ROM being deodexed, zipaligned, pre rooted, aroma installer, etc. But what makes it #4 on our list is OpenVPN support, Performance optimizations, Memory optimizations, and the Excellent battery life which were not quite present in the maximus 7. Also it has Persistent ADB enabled and all bloatware has been removed which gives the users a sleek and fast experience. For complete details and features you can visit the original thread.

Number 3 on our top 5 list is Renovate ROM. This really has a bundle of features packed in ranging from the entire system being deimaged to Increased max mms size. It has been Cleaned and has a tweaked build.prop for better performance. There is an Advanced Power Menu along with the battery % mod. All the bloatware is completely removed and the apps are all up to date and the apks are zipaligned and deodexed. There are many more features that makes it a really awesome ROM. The releases in the form of nightlies that get automatically uploaded every night are very useful although they may not be 100% stable So, if you want a
stable release your best sticking to the official releases, say the developers. For complete details and features you can visit the original thread.

Hope you liked our TOP 5 list but this by no means mean that the other ROMs posted by the sheer hard work of the devs are any lesser.So, do go ahead and try all of them and don’t forget to post your views here…

Do you know if any of these (particularly the last one) allows the ability to disable or remove BlinkFeed? I’m asking because I just want to double check.

No, there is no such mod yet. Why would you like to disable it anyway?

I don’t really have a use for it. Plus, it takes up an available home screen. If you find any more info, would you mind letting me know?

http://www.techgeekal.com Tech Geekal

I will surely let you know if i come across anything like that.

Sidney

I will indeed appreciate it. : D I’m really excited about getting the phone. Unfortunately, AT&T doesn’t release the 64GB in black until the majority population release (vs. the preorderes in silver).

David Brymer

blinkfeed goes away if u use another launcher

Techgeekal

Yes it does

Jim Bean

Thanks for the summary of info but this makes bold statements like “excellent battery life” etc which are just taken from the ROM blurb but aren’t verified in any way yet. Just to put it into context, I agree with your list though.

http://www.techgeekal.com Tech Geekal

Thanks. But the battery life is indeed increased by some margin or another.

david

is there just the 5 roms so far, ps blinkfeed is amazing i check on it lots everyday. do u know if more will be added to it.

Surely as time goes on many more roms will come along.

Hi, I traded in my new S3 plus £100 FOR new 32Gb M7, but…. Seller was on the UK 3 network…. I, however, on Vodafone UK. I just found out that I must use the 3 network, or I will not be able to use 3G!? I’m not a tech head
Keen to learn though….. HTC said this is due to the 3 network putting there software bumff on new handsets they dish out. That I can’t use another SIM for 3G without killing the warranty on my HTC one. Anyway round this please?
Thanks.

Techgeekal

No, I don’t think so that there is any work around. It must be a carrier specific M7, thus allowing you to only use SIM cards of those carriers. Anyways have a talk at the vodafone uk centre.
